Learn to Lead Outdoor

Become a confident and safe lead-climber with our AMGA-trained climbing guides.

Overview

Elevate your outdoor climbing to the next level by learning how to safely and confidently lead climb. 

Lead climbing is the next step in outdoor climbing, offering more diverse routes, freedom, and fun than top-roping. With more freedom comes additional responsibilities that you take on as a climber. Outdoor lead climbing has more complexities than indoor lead climbing, so it is important to fully understand things such as clipping properly and safely falling. Our experienced guides will ensure that you have the necessary skills and knowledge to lead climb safely and responsibly. By the end of the course, you will be equipped to confidently lead climb outdoors on your own.
